- Asians like them and they only show two NFL games per week and they start at 2am and don't usually involve the Pats
- You either love them or hate them, it's rare to find someone who is indifferent towards them
- Snotty coach
I don't think it's their fault that they became what they are, but the comparison is certainly fair. They were cool as shit in the 80's when they sucked but had the awesome logo.
What I respect most about them is that they run their franchise like a business - I think that's something that makes them impossible to like as a sports fan because there's so much loyalty involved with being a fan and that loyalty conflicts with the business model, but it is cool to see how business principles transfer to sports success. The sports fan in me will always hate them, but the business man (or life student) in me respects them. They're management is like the red army and the team is like Ivan Drago.
Off season sucks.
